Disposable Email Domain

Detect and block opog.skin emails

opog.skin hands out temporary inboxes. Someone signing up with one can't be reached again, and is often after your free tier. Fidro spots it in one API call.

Severity: Medium (3/5) Source: disposable-email-domains

How to block opog.skin in your app

Add Fidro's email validation API to your signup flow. One API call detects opog.skin and nearly 10,000 other disposable domains in under 200ms.

curl -X POST https://fidro.io/api/validate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "user@opog.skin"}'

// Response:
{
  "risk_score": 85,
  "recommendation": "Block",
  "checks": { "disposable_email": true }
}

// In your registration controller or form request
$response = Http::withToken(config('services.fidro.key'))
    ->post('https://fidro.io/api/validate', [
        'email' => $request->email,
    ]);

if ($response['checks']['disposable_email']) {
    return back()->withErrors([
        'email' => 'Disposable email addresses are not allowed.'
    ]);
}

const res = await fetch('https://fidro.io/api/validate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FIDRO_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ email: req.body.email }),
});

const data = await res.json();
if (data.checks.disposable_email) {
  return res.status(422).json({ error: 'Disposable emails not allowed' });
}

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://fidro.io/api/validate',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {FIDRO_API_KEY}'},
    json={'email': email},
)

result = response.json()
if result['checks']['disposable_email']:
    raise ValidationError('Disposable emails are not allowed')

What happens if you let it sign up?

opog.skin hands out temporary inboxes. People use them to sign up without giving a real address, and the inbox usually disappears soon after.

If you let it through, you get an account you can't email, can't onboard and can't win back. If the same person returns with another throwaway address, they get your free tier again. Your user count goes up; your real users don't.

Fidro rates opog.skin 3/5, which is moderate risk. Flag or block signups from it, depending on how much your free tier is worth protecting.

Common questions

How do I detect opog.skin emails in my app?

Send the address to Fidro's API with a POST to https://fidro.io/api/validate. If it is on opog.skin, the disposable_email check comes back true and the risk score goes up, so your code can block or challenge the signup. Code for cURL, Laravel, Node.js and Python is on this page.

Should I block opog.skin at signup?

For most products, yes. Addresses on opog.skin are temporary, so you cannot reach the person again, and they are a common way to claim a free tier more than once. If you would rather not lose a real user who values their privacy, challenge the signup instead, for example by asking for a different email.

What is the risk score for opog.skin?

Fidro rates opog.skin 3/5 for severity in its disposable domain list. A disposable email raises the risk score of a signup, and Fidro combines it with the IP and network checks to decide between allow, challenge and block.
